Posts from Are GAMES more interesting than life?Auto-translated
In the sense of "replaying a scenario," there's no such thing in real life. But a completed scenario is an experience that allows you to approach another scenario differently, or not approach it at all if the outcome is already known and nothing can be changed. In this sense, you can "load" a completed scenario for analysis. And that means it's saved in memory and can be loaded, which is what I meant. And life (with or without experience) unfolds without a restart – it's essentially one big online tournament.

I recall some old jokes: *"God has changed our lives. Save changes?"* and *"Life is like a computer game - the plot is terrible, but the graphics are amazing"* :D ...
or, alternatively: "If you suddenly feel like you're not on Earth, but in the sky, it's a bug. Write to the developer":)

There's this feeling... When there's too much negativity in real life, you just want to escape somewhere. To another world, but not necessarily a virtual one, because that starts to sound like a bad "Matrix" sequel. :)
In games, there's no "Moscow Barrel" or blue "LM"! I wouldn't be able to live there for long! :(
Well... and then they still ask, "But where does this computer addiction come from in people?" MoonBoy, in fact, showed us everything clearly.
I completely agree with this. I spend more than half a day in virtual reality.
BUT... I don't have any addiction (in the usual sense). And I have a bicycle. And at 7 in the morning, while you're still sleeping, I sometimes start my second run in the forest. I study many different sciences and arts, including Zen. And I can easily do without games. If there was any addiction, it has grown into something more. Here are a few stories: Once, the great dancer Nijinsky was asked, "Have you had the greatest moments in your life?" Nijinsky replied, "The greatest moments of my life are those when the dancer dissolves in the dance." Picasso gave the same answer. And when the greatest moments of creativity come, even the artist disappears. Only the painting itself remains. The Sufi mystic Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi made whirling in dance his method. His followers are called dancing dervishes. They whirl for hours, and this is not easy. Jalaluddin Rumi himself whirled for 36 hours in a row, and in this whirling he found enlightenment, because he simply disappeared in the dance, only the whirling remained. "I disappear in the dance. The dance becomes so intense that I am simply not there. There was emptiness and silence. Comfort and peace.
Any activity, if you immerse yourself in it completely, becomes meditation.
The same thing happens to me with games, but for this you need to have a very developed imaginative thinking, and not verbal thinking. In the virtual world, you kind of dissolve, you forget about the physical world, about the fact that consciousness (the SOUL) is attached to the body. After all, consciousness can move anywhere. In the end, what gives the right to rise above – physical wings or the flight of thought? And I am very interested in this flight of thought.
...and this moment of non-existence, leaving the physical world, is what the virtual world gives you; you are as if you cease to exist in the physical plane, and not existing is such happiness.

I think this real world doesn't need to be changed. It is what it is, what it should be (this is the world we deserve). You don't need to change reality, but you need to be able to control it. And not the other way around, so that reality controls you.

I completely agree with the previous post. 100%...

I'm honestly worried that the rules of the game can't be applied in real life (not yet, anyway; science is always evolving). I'd give anything to be able to start the last month with an autosave! Does anyone know if that's possible? To confirm that the game is better than real life, consider that no game has a quest to write a thesis! Although, on the other hand, that could also be seen as a curse, so it's a debatable point in this specific case. :D
I've already gone through the period when I used to escape reality by immersing myself in computer games. Now, I hardly play games at all; I mostly just hang out online and chat with people. And it's not because I have communication problems in real life, but simply because I'm not studying or working right now, and I'm bored. All my friends are preparing for exams. The computer helps me not to escape reality, but to expand it.

Yes, it’s important to understand, when communicating with people online – on forums, in chats, via instant messaging, etc. – what exactly it means for you personally: loneliness and a lack of real communication, simply a desire to chat, or the infamous addiction…

The real world (if it actually exists, and it's not just a set of sensations) has no new horizons. Everything that the "real" world offers has already been experienced in the past. And you are just walking along a well-trodden path like a template doll.
I meant that the game world is more diverse and gives you the right to look at the physical world in a different, more diverse way. That is, you see things that you didn't notice or pay attention to before (while living only in the physical world).
Those who notice what the world offers receive a great reward. A broad outlook, a great reward.
You think our world is so boring and monotonous. You just don't see everything. You only see a small part. There is a lot of interesting things in the world. Try to see it. And there is no need to delve into virtual reality to escape from this one. Do you need horror? Turn on some channel, some program like "Emergency Situations." You will see a lot of terrible things that are happening here. Do you need some anomalous phenomena? You can turn on the TV or read newspapers (although, is it worth trusting the "yellow press"). Look around! The world is full of unsolved mysteries. This is much more interesting than a linear computer game. :)

Without a doubt, the world is beautiful. But most people don't see it and simply drown in the routine of everyday life. The world is beautiful in many ways, including the fact that it has games. Virtual reality and physical reality are not different things. The virtual world is a "snapshot of reality," a space that expands almost infinitely and is obedient to all the changes made to it. People have always seen not what is, but what they want to see. Only now it is not as tangible as with the virtual world. Before, it was not possible to take the real world and mix it with the virtual one. You can overlay a different image, altered by consciousness, onto a standard picture. Reality becomes a framework onto which any other image, other worlds, are stretched. The same is true of some books. Some part of the real world remains in place (trees, the sky, etc.), but most of the details are replaced with things that never existed in the physical world. There is a continuous flow of consciousness. Traveling through such worlds, I have learned to look at things more multifaceted (which I also wish for you), and not just from one side.
Virtual reality is simply a parallel world, a world of illusions, a world where there is no time and other limitations of the physical... plane, so to speak, a more free world.
Besides, virtual reality gives you access to sensations that you will never be able to experience in the physical world.
But watching TV doesn't appeal to me. Nothing changes there, it's still the same hustle and bustle, the same nastiness, as it was a thousand years ago.

But isn't this reality, our current world, an illusion? The most successful illusion, so convincing that everyone believes in it.;) Even you. You just need to look at the world not from a material point of view. And you're looking for new sensations? Go to the astral plane, there's a lot going on there. But don't go without a teacher, you'll perish.:)

And what an illusion it is! As an ascetic, I understand this very well. But to make it an experience and not just a theory, you need to stay away from what this illusion offers. Including games. This is like one of the laws of metaphysics: The further you move away from an object, the smaller that object becomes, and the less power it has over you (for example, a magnet).
That's why hermits appear in remote mountains. Even in Buddhism, it is written: The craving for life, which pushes us and distances us from true reality, can be overcome.
Well, I've really gone off on a tangent....

Heh... and there's one more important point: let's not forget that anything made by human hands cannot be perfect by definition and will always fall short of the original idea – that is, the intended concept can never be fully and accurately translated from thought into reality... And games are also a creation of human hands, and therefore they are also incapable of replicating the existing world, let alone being better than it... People, including those who create games, are not Demiurges...
